Happy New Year to all the musicians, music industry professionals, radio stations, producers, media and of course you the fans who make artists to continue to push themselves to provide kickass music!
DVT Entertainment (Jim/Vince/Eric) had a great year in 2014 providing our services to clubs, festivals, events and artists. We made some changes this year, which in the long run has made DVT a stronger company to provide more opportunities to artists we had the pleasure of working with this year. We would like to thank you for your continuing support and we are deeply grateful.
DVT had a lot of great national shows we did this year including HR of BAD BRAINS, THE TOSSERS, ZACH MYERS of SHINEDOWN, STROKE 9, THE MOVEMENT, JAKE E LEE’s RED DRAGON CARTEL, CONTINENTAL (Ex. Dropkick Murphy’s) and more…
It was a banner year for growing our work with FESTIVAL’s. Here’s a little recap
2nd SOUTH STREET SPRING FESTIVAL – May 2014
http://southstreet.com/spring-festival/
There were 2 outdoor stages this year along with 7 street performer locations. We provided 50+ artists with performance slots. It was estimated that over 30,000 attended the festival this year. The crowds were so into all the artists, the talent level was top notch to a point where each band vibed off each other making each band raise the bar with each performance.
The 3rd Annual LIBERTY MUSICFEST – Aug 2014

All we can say is WOW!!!! We held this event at Finnigan’s Wake this year, utilized all 4 floors of the venue over 5 days and 150+ artists performed under one roof - providing one of the best festivals Philadelphia has ever seen. We estimated over 2500 people attended to witness this spectacular event. We also had day events with industry professional come and speak about ways for artist to navigate and succeed in today’s world.
